In Year 1, we encourage and support children to develop independence and nurture a positive attitude to learning. The children will experience a range of fun and engaging learning activities.
There are three Year 1 classes, each class is supported by teaching assistants.
The children have four English and Mathematics lessons a week. Children are taught phonics four times a week, where we continue to follow the Read Write Inc programme introduced in Reception.
In the afternoons, children are taught History and Geography through the Connected Curriculum and Science, RE, Music and RHE as separate lessons. Each week, the children take part in a carousel which involves Computing, Art and PE.
The children read weekly with the class teacher or teaching assistant. We encourage you to read 5 times a week with your child. Reading books can be changed first thing in the morning so please remind your child to do this if needed. Class Library books will be changed once a week on Friday.
Children are provided with a piece of fruit each day at break time as a healthy snack.
